Unraveling the Taxonomic and Phylogenetic Complexity of Ericameria parryi in the Western United States
Project summary:
My proposal focuses on unraveling the taxonomic and phylogenetic complexity of Ericameria parryi, an ecologically significant shrub native to the western U.S. Through fieldwork, herbarium studies, and molecular analysis, I aim to explore its evolutionary relationships, refine taxonomic boundaries, and assess conservation needs while promoting rare plant preservation and community education.
